Let's represent the number of weeks as x.
Maria saves $19 each week, so after x weeks, she will have saved a total of 19x dollars.
She begins with $50, so the equation representing her total savings after x weeks is:
19x + 50 = 259
Maria opens a savings account with $50 and then saves $19 each week. How many weeks will it take for her account to reach $259? Represent this problem with an equation.
